NSRCC, Fully air-conditioned 2-storey bungalows with 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms, a pantry, as well as spacious living and dining areas, LCD flat sreen TV & a BBQ pit!.

Today is Ben and Jasmine's Wedding Day!
The wedding ceremony started at 3pm. The groom has 'rescued' the bride from bride maids (chee-mui) who locked the grilles. Glad Ben got through the obstacles without any difficulties. Once the groom has brought the bride back to his place then the next section is Tea Ceremony.

The wedding ceremony was simple and fabulous. All guests were then served with buffet style dinner. After all the programs have been done then we straight to enjoy the facilities in the club. So we decided to bring Eugene to have a swimming pool fun! Since this 1st time Eugene plays in swimming pool so we were more excited then him and we can't wait to change Eugene in swim suit and well prepared the swim ring for him. Lets GO!

Today is our 3rd day in Singapore. We have extended one night stayed at 'The Far East Elizabeth Hotel' where just next to the Orchard Road. Our today plan in the itinerary was paid a visit to 'Ming Gu' then visited to Singapore Zoo.



Left Pic: In the hotel room - being a little tired, we took our sweet time to wake up. Yes, we are ready to go now!
Right Pic: We paid a visit to 'Ming Gu' and we have lunch together.

Yeah! Finally we had the opportunity to visit Singapore Zoo on this trip. The zoo is an open concept, no bars zoo where animals are kept in spacious landscaped enclosures, separated from visitors by dry or wet moats which are well concealed from visitors.

From the entrance of the zoo, you’ll be surprised at how cool and lovely the place is. Everywhere is pleasantly shady with big rain trees and the paths provide an easy walkway, even for the handicapped.


Left Pic: Roar....We are at the white tiger zone area. Right Pic: Lots of Kangaroo bouncing around the outback.


here you go, some of the animals we met.

After walking for few hours, our legs got tired. Eugene was the best as we brought along the stroller for him. But sometime he wanted us to carry him and don’t want to sit in the stroller. Eugene got to see many animals likes giraffe, lion, tiger, polar bear, monkey, etc. We were exhausted and we have not even cover 3/4 of the zoo yet. The weather was hot around 3pm so we took the opportunity to have a rest at the elephant's area watch the elephant show. We took the tram on seeing the zoo in a jiffy.

We managed to finish walking through the whole zoo by 5pm. We started at 1pm! That’s over four hours of walking. After that, we did some shopping at the souvenir shop.


A Happy Family Photo before leaving Singapore Zoo.
It was definitely an enjoyable visit and wonderful time for all of us.


Eugene was enjoyed a hot bathtub in the hotel room.

Before headed back to Malaysia, there is a the most popular tourist spots we must go is Merlion Park. The Merlion was initially designed as a symbol for the Singapore Tourism Board in the year 1964. The unique structure of the Merlion with the lion head and the body of a fish resting on a rest of waves soon became Singapore's icon for the world.

The Merlion Statue measuring 8.6 metres in height and weighing around 70 tonnes.

Beautiful views of Singapore’s colonial district when strolling in Merlion Park. Our last photo shot - Bye Bye Singapore! We are prepared to go to our next destination - Genting Highland.

I am enjoying my buffet breakfast at Resort Cafe, Restaurant Kampung.

Today temperature was just excellent for us. Immediately after breakfast we went to the Genting Indoor Theme Park. This is the first (old) Indoor Theme Park in the highland. Most suitable for young children. For younger children this is a fantasy land full of fun and adventure.


Eugene enjoyed the super-exciting video arcade game and motorcycle ride.


boobooboo...I am driving to 'Kai Kai' loh.

We visited Chin Swee Caves temple when we were on our way down to Batang Kali and way back to Ipoh. Chin Swee Caves Temple is about 5 to 10 minutes drive down from First World Hotel and is situated on a rocky forested land. The land was donated by the late Tan Sri DatoSeri Lim Goh Tong who is a devotee of the Reverend Chin Swee.


There is a nine-storey Pagoda which was decorated with many figurines of the Buddha and inside the Pagoda are thousand of ‘blessing lamps’.


There are some carvings on the stone wall near to the Buddha statues as well. Eugene and the statues.

Took the opportunity to take a photo of 'Fook Lou Shou' and "Pa Shien'.
